My questions, dear calgarypuckers, are:
-Anyone ever had hair restoration done?
-Whats the process like/cost?
-Any clinics you'd recommend or avoid?
Thanks!

Sorry to hear that, wow time flies since we all had youthful heads of hair when riding the school bus together in Junior High.
I don't know anyone personally that has had a transplant but I understand the procedures are much better these days than in the 80s and 90s. Back then they would surgically remove a flap of skin with living folicles but it would leave horrible scars and gaps. Nowadays they can remove hairs individually and inject them into a grid pattern back into problem areas. I do know many people who have taken the Finasteride pills for it but it didn't keep their hair in for them in the end.
This channel comes up on my feed and he seems to describe different hair transplant procedures with an entertaining and educational perspective.

On the Flames, Mangiapane is the most recent hair transplanter.
